11 consecutive weeks in the top 5. In comparison, Toosie Slide debuted at #1, but only spent 6 weeks in the top 5 and 10 weeks in the top 10.

Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later," featuring Lil Durk, drops 3-4 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 2 peak. It concurrently hits No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where Drake achieves his 21st leader, breaking out of a tie with late legend Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder (20 each) for the most No. 1s in the chart's history.

Most number-one hits
21 - Drake
20 - Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin
17 - James Brown
16 - Janet Jackson
15 - The Temptations
13 - Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Usher,
11 - Lil Wayne, R. Kelly
10 - Jay-Z, Freddie Jackson, Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, The O'Jays

2 more weeks till Blinding Lights ties Circles for most weeks in the top 10.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

No Dynamite. I guess all these website sales finally dried up.

[wavey.]

Let's goo Arii.

I'm happy for BTS they held up as much as they can. Ready for the next single, which is probably what they are gearing for.

Circles has a chance to survive next week lol

Ariana would need to flop for that to happen, and we all know that has a less than 1% chance of happening. Circles is going recurrent next week, along with DSN.

 8 songs would have to debut above it for it to definitely fall off. There is absolutely a chance that it stays on.

[bigolefreak]

ROCKSTAR departs Top 10 with 26 weeks. A smash organic hit single, if there truly ever was one this year

How does it compare with the other #1 Song of the Summers? Maybe someone can compare.

[Deleted]

Positions was always probably going to be a legitimate lead single since its an Ari lead single
Coming off the huge debuts that TUN songs made especially which was two chart toppers and almost a third

[lazer]

I feel like Savage Love's longevity is kinda undeserved.

[fridayteenage]

Kinda surprised ariana's lead debuted with lower sales than two demi lovato songs from this year.

[otaviohmg]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

If there are no huge releases this Friday, Blinding Lights will 100% tie the record.

Considering it's still #5 even with 2 new songs debuting top 5, remaining top 10 isn't debatable regardless of new releases...

[bigolefreak]

Excited for these two entries!

I meant to put Saweetie and I corrected it but you reposted it first Thanks tho
Hopefully in 2021 MNEK gets his things. He's been writing for everyone for ages. Time to get some credited chart hits. And happy for Joel Corry too. He's so cute

i hate how easy it is for these big artists to get #1s now... like these songs don’t even have to be somewhat good now and they’ll still go #1

I’d say it actually makes more sense for big artists to debut at number one. If today’s chart measurements were in place in the 90s, we would have seen big first-week debuts from the Backstreet Boys, N Sync, Madonna, Mariah, and really anyone with hype behind a new era. We still see number one debuts as being novel but I’d say it’s just a case of the charts and measuring catching up.

[walt91]

MNEK deserves another American hit beside "Never Forget You" & "Head & Heart" is insanely catchy, nice to see it debut

[mzumii]

When The Weeknd breaks Post's top 10 record with Blinding Lights and then Post releases a new song that breaks that record >

Not so surprising actually. Positions was heavily streamed during the week while Demi's songs mostly had sales, plus the former's parent was just waiting to be released. Finally, I don't think Ariana tried to push song sales for positions, as she did for Stuck With U.

[fhas]

Mood
- first song released this year to reach #1 on Radio Songs;
- first song by a lead black male rapper to reach #1 on Radio Songs since One Dance (5 weeks, June-August 2016);
- first collaboration between two male rappers to reach #1 on Radio Songs since Low (4 weeks, February-March 2008);

...and next week it has a chance to become the first song since Havana to top Rhythmic and Top 40 simultaneously.

Wait what if we end up with 20 or more number 1’s this year? Is that more than any in the 21st century or nah

Yes, right now it is tied with 2006 with 18 new number one hits in a year.

The last year to have more than 18 #1s was 1991, with 27. Notably, that was the last year before electronic monitoring took over sales and radio information (the switch happened on November 30th of that year).

I imagine it will probably end with 19 #1's, Positions will get next week and then Mood, and then the next BTS single until AIWFCIY tops the chart once again.
